Privacy

Last updated November 2026. This page is a plain-language summary.

Your files

Every PocketDesk tool runs inside your browser. Your files, their names and their contents are never uploaded by PocketDesk: there is no upload step and nothing to delete later. You can check this yourself by opening your browser's network panel while using a tool.

Ads

PocketDesk is supported by ads from Google AdSense. Ads run in your browser, separately from the tool you are using. PocketDesk never gives ads your file names, file contents or the text you type, and our own code makes no network request that carries them. We cannot control what third-party ad code does inside your browser, though. If you work with highly sensitive files, use a browser or extension that blocks ads, or disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded.

Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google shows a consent message before personalised ads. You can manage or turn off personalised ads at adssettings.google.com, and learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

What stays in your browser

Option choices, such as a quality slider position, are saved in your browser's local storage so they are there next time. PocketDesk sets no cookies of its own.

History on your device

The History page lists your recent runs: which tool, when, the file names and sizes you chose, and the settings used. Result files are kept for your latest 10 runs. Text and calculator tools never save what you typed or the result. All of this is stored in your browser on this device, is never sent to us, and you can delete single entries or everything on the History page. Clearing your browser's site data also removes it.

Accounts and tracking

There is no sign-up and no email request. We do not run our own analytics at this time. If we add privacy-friendly analytics later, it will never include file names or contents.

Hosting

The site is static files served from a content delivery network. The host may keep standard server logs, such as IP address and requested page, as any web host does.
